I've been checking in periodically to see if there were any new updates or new news with Negri Electronics shipment (and confirmation) of the Unlocked Rogers Lumia 920. Anyone received anything from them yet?

They kept changing the date and it has been pushed back to Dec 7. However, at this point, the demand for 920 is very high even AT&T and Amazon still have to wait for another shipment. I believe we will know more about the shipment from Negri on Dec 7, hopefully this time is true. On a side note, they mentioned that they have over 175 pre-order so I am not sure they can fulfill all of them in that day or some of us might need to wait for another shipment. About the AWS band, it has been confirmed awhile that the 920 from Rogers indeed has support for AWS band. Not sure about unlock but we can see some people succeed unlock from 3rd party so it is 50/50.

Thanks for the update Spincel! I've read a lot on the forums about the confirmation of Rogers 920 having AWS band, I was moreso referring to whether the version Negri Electronics claims to be shipping out is indeed unlocked ready for use on other networks with AWS support.

There is an issue with unlocking the Rogers Lumia 920. The issue is that there are no unlocks available unless current customers call and pay the $50 fee and only then will they unlocked the Lumia 920 that are active on their account, or purchased under their account. With that being said we do not have a solid ETA on when these Rogers Lumia 920 will be unlocked and ready to ship. If you need the T-Mobile 3/4G bands, it's recommended to wait until the unlock is readily available. If you do not require the T-Mobile bands we will have the Unlocked Lumia 920 Black in stock on Wednesday. However, we do have many pre-orders for this device, and we are giving Rogers 920 pre-orders first right of refusal to switch to the one that arrives Wednesday.

We recommend pre-ordering whichever model you desire. Worst case scenario you have an order and need to cancel. We do not charge before we ship. You are only authorized for that amount. We have to authorize your card, otherwise we have no guarantee that the funds are available at that time; which would mean that it was not a verifiable pre-order- which would be unfair to customers that already have pre-ordered and had their cards authorized.

So Negri, let me ask you something. Are you still waiting for the shipment of the Rogers 920 Unlocked from your vendor or you do have devices actually in stock but you have to wait for an unlock method to work in order to unlock it and ship it to customer?

Negri, the date on the grey 920 is set for Thursday. Think that's going to push to Dec 7?

If we do not get word tomorrow that they are shipping (as we were told), we will be pushing it back. The date to which it will be pushed to is unknown, but we will know tomorrow. Also, it's "Striking when the iron's hot". ;) "Hitting" sounds too violent.

We have some stock. They are locked. We are just waiting for the unlock codes to arrive. Just hope it's not like AT&T and we have to wait 9 months like we did for the Lumia 900. We try to update twitter as much as possible. Follow us there.

That is a great news. Thanks for this info. I can see some services are currently testing the unlock code, so hopefully the phone can be all unlocked soon. I'll will check for update frequently.

Why instead of waiting for a phone with AWS support to put it to work on T-mobile, we just try to focus on unlocking the AT&T phone and use it on T-mobile 1900 refarmed band. I'm pretty sure that if someone unlock one from AT&T the phone is going to work on T-mobile on that band cause that band is on the specs sheet of the AT&T Lumia 920. To my understanding it will run at 3g speeds in the refarmed area. Pretty much like the iphone. Remember when T-mobile was promoting to the people to bring their iphones. It was to use that band. I just want to unlock my phone and since i live in NYC i will receive the speeds of the refarmed area.

You can use a locked AT&T phone with Straight Talk, Net10 which im using, H2O and Red Pocket. Only thing is that they all say unlimited data but is just for web browsing cause in the Terms and Conditions they say no streaming(Skype,Youtube, Netflix etc) and another bunch of regulations. If you do you can get your service cut with any advice. Some advice you but majority don't. But the service is not that bad at all until you can find how to unlock.

I have a question of how Negri Electronics apply the unlock code to their phones.
Do they open the retail box, turn ON the phone and apply them? Or they just provide the unlock code written in a card or something?

Please tell me it is the second one..

They already opened the box to check for defective before they ship it to you so they will eventually enter the unlock code to make sure it works. They get the phone from some vendors so maybe in the future, the vendors can unlock it first and then distribute to Negri so that they won't have to do anything else beside checking for defective.

can someone from Negrielectronics explain why the estimate date was changed to Nov 29, then Dec 7 and now coming soon which doesn't say anything....any estimate at all?

Which one you refer to. If this is the Rogers, then Nov 29 was the date that they supposed to get stock, but the stock they got was locked, so they changed it to Dec 7 and later Dec 11 because they have to wait for unlock code. Right now, they remove the date because as I think, they don't want to confuse people anymore and they just need to wait for unlock code in order to ship to customer. In the other hand, they have the black international version, but they sold out after 3 days, the other colors are coming soon as most online seller like them suppose to get stock in about a week from now.
